Zusammenfassung:A device for measuring force comprising, on the one hand, an upper rigid element (1) and a lower rigid element (2) linked by an elastic body (8), and on the other hand a capacitive sensor independent of the elastic body. The elastic body is made out of a single piece of material by machining a hollow cylinder. The capacitive sensor comprises a plurality of flat electrodes (6, 7) laid out so that different combinations of electrodes enable all 6 degrees of freedom to be measured.
